At a time when India is going through great changes and, with China, is likely to inherit the world from the West, it is important that writers like me try to highlight the brutal injustices of society. |
| C. S. Lewis |
Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn. |
| Donald Trump |
When somebody challenges you, fight back. Be brutal, be tough. |
| Eddie Van Halen |
A guitar is a very personal extension of the person playing it. You have to be emotionally and spiritually connected to your instrument. I'm very brutal on my instruments, but not all the time. |
